The 8 times table: forward, then in reverse

The 8s are where many adults quietly stop trusting their memory. You know the table exists, but 8 × 7 or 8 × 6 doesn’t always arrive without a pause. That is common, and it responds well to simple, repeated practice.

Patterns in the 8 times table

8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80

• The ones digits count down by two, then repeat: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, and again 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
• The tens digits climb by one, with a pause in the middle: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Both 40 and 48 start with a 4.
• Every answer is double the same step in the 4 times table. 4 × 7 = 28, and 28 doubled is 56, which is 8 × 7. If you have already practiced the 4s, this is a handy way to check yourself.

Test yourself

After the video, check what stuck. Math Engine gives you ten questions on the 8 times table, a hint after each answer, and a review round for the ones you missed. It is free and needs no sign-up.
